Started an account with Fanbox. Initially I was enthusiastic. I was warned and cautioned.
I pressed on. I was wrong.
Please do not waste your time and money on this.
I was hoping to make a bit of money, save a bit as well as offset expenses. Fanbox proved to be a drain on our bank account. To make matters worse there were the constant reassurances of a mentor/teacher who insisted that all I had to do was follow the plan that they had laid out. I followed … right down the garden path.
Thankfully our losses were relatively minor. I hope I can save others the pain, annoyance and embarrassment. Steer clear of Fanbox and anything to do with SMS.AC.Inc.
It will be the smartest thing you never did.
